'From that first time I heard 'Pictured Life' by The Scorpions and 'Whole Lotta Rosie' from ACDC in late 1979, I've been totally engrossed in rock music. Went to my first theatre rock gig at the Apollo in November 1980 to see ACDC and regularly attended that great venue until the last rock gig , Uriah Heep, in June 1985.
So I've over 40 years of going to classic rock and metal gigs, not just in the theatres/arenas/festivals but also pubs/clubs and small iconic rock venues that we all love to go to. I've been lucky enough to see Whitesnake in the Californian desert, Metallica at Metlife stadium in New Jersey at one end of the scale, but equally enjoyed going to see local or emerging bands at the now defunct 'Ochil Hills' in Tillicoultry, 'The Venues' in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, pubs and clubs all over the UK and supporting bands of all types and stature where I can.
